From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
No evidence of the income this letting generated was provided to the tribunal. … The tribunal also took into account the conduct of the applicants and finds that they did little to keep the premises sufficiently aired and cleaned to prevent or minimise mould and did little to ensure that the kitchen areas was kept clear of food debris or make any significant effort to deter the presence of mice. … The tribunal calculates that between 1/10/2018 and 12/05/2019 (both dates included) the subject premises were unlicensed for a period of 224 days. This amounts to £101.92 per day and £22,829 for the whole period. However, the tribunal takes into account the reduced rent negotiated and deducts the sum of £565 from the total sum resulting in rental paid of £22,264. … Deducting this sum from the total rental figure of £22,264 this produces a figure of £10,714.
